It sounded like a demon from hell.The strength exerted on her neck increased and she gradually found it more and more difficult to breathe.Just as she thought she was about to suffocate to death, her body was suddenly shaken with force."Kisa, wake up! Kisa..."Kisa suddenly woke up, and beneath the dim light, she saw Gilbert looking at her anxiously.At this moment, she had forgotten about all of her grievances against him as that lingering fear still gripped her heart.She threw herself into his arms, trembling all over."There's a shadow, a black shadow... a black shadow..."Gilbert hugged her tight and said, "No, you were just dreaming. That shadow is just the fear hidden in your heart."Kisa shook her head, her body trembling.Gilbert did not say anything as he just stroke her back again and again.After a while, Kisa's trembling lessened somewhat.Gilbert gently pushed her away, and noticing the abnormal blush on her face, he inwardly spat.He then raised his hand
Gilbert stroked her wet and cold hair as he said with a somewhat admonishing tone, "Why didn't you sleep only after drying your hair? Be careful of catching a headache."As he said that, he plugged the hair dryer in, lifting her hair up as he blow-dried her hair.Kisa did not say a word but her fingers held onto the quilt tightly.She really thought he had left just now.'If he hadn't come back just now, was I going to die from that asphyxiating fear just now?'Thinking of that dream earlier, she could not help but to shudder and feeling colder all over.Gilbert patiently blew her hair dry. No one spoke as the only the sound of the hair dryer echoed across the room.After a while, his long fingers easily passed through her hair. Only when it was clear to him that every strand of her hair was dry, did he turn the hair dryer off.As he put it aside, he held his hand out and pushed the stray strands of her on her face to the back of her ear as he asked, "Are you tired? Want to sle
Gilbert acquiesced. He put the medicine away and then sat quietly beside her.Kisa did not say anything. She only gave him a glance before closing her eyes.After ten plus minutes, Gilbert gave the wounds on a leg a careful inspection. After seeing that the medicine had already dried, he put the quilt over her leg.However, when he did that, the woman did not react all.'Has she fallen asleep?'As he thought of that, he came before her and called out to her.She did not respond.He could not help but to chuckle a little.'You're so exhausted and yet you said you don't want to sleep.'But what he did not know was, the reason she could sleep so soundly was because he was by her side.He gently held her body and laid her down.After putting the quilt over here, he stood up and wanted to go to the sofa to sleep. But just as he got up, the woman grabbed his hand.She looked at him with misty eyes, her hoarse voice sorrowful and helpless."Don't go..."Gilbert looked at her daz
There was nobody besides Kisa, and the entire house was silent.Kisa raised her arm and put it on her forehead. She stared blankly at the ceiling. The chaotic and ambiguous scenes from last night appeared in her mind. She felt a little irritable.'Both of us are mortal enemies. Things that happened last night mean nothing. Although I was unconscious last night, I could also deeply feel his gentleness and patience. He obviously hates me so much. But why did he treat me so well last night? Is it because I'm pitiful? Or he deliberately disguised deep love to make me lose my heart purposely?'The more Kisa guessed, the more irritable she was.She shook her head to shake off those disturbing thoughts. Then, she sat up with her weak body.'At this time, the kids should have gone to school, and he should have gone to the company.'Kisa endured the dizziness in her head, got out of bed, and walked out slowly. She skipped dinner last night and had been sick. She was excessive fatigue and
Kisa stopped eating. She rejected the invitation. "You can go by yourself. Why do I have to go?"Gilbert felt annoyed that she never took the initiative to care for their children. But on second thought, she did not know the children belonged to her. It was reasonable that she did not care so much about them.The anger in his heart dissipated instantly without a trace when thinking of this.He said to her in an injured tone, "I barely slept last night. I was afraid of accidents by driving out like this, so I asked you to go together."The bits and pieces of Gilbert taking care of her last night came to Kisa's mind again.Kisa's mind was complicated, but she still said, "Ask Davian to go with you.""Davian has to work. He has to handle everything when I'm not in the company."Kisa was about to say something else. Gilbert sighed suddenly, "It's almost the end of autumn, and the weather is getting colder. The children's clothes are not ready for the season, especially Blake's. He h
Gilbert panicked suddenly upon seeing the seat next to him was empty. He hurriedly got out of the car and looked around. This is a parking lot next to a department store.'Is it that she went shopping for the children herself as she saw me fall asleep?'With that thought, Gilbert quickly took out his phone and called her.There was no answer to the first call, and her phone was off for the second call.He gritted his teeth bitterly.'Terrible! It's fine if she doesn't want to go shopping with me. Is it necessary to forget him in the car? She doesn't even answer the call and deliberately turns the phone off now.'Gilbert suppressed the resentment in his mind and walked into the mall angrily.Kisa walked into a famous brand of children's clothing store. A staff quickly greeted her with enthusiasm."Miss, are you buying clothes for your child? How old is your child?"Kisa looked around the store and said, "Five years old.""Is that a boy or a girl?""I want both boy and girl cl
A familiar cold voice suddenly came from above Kisa's head before she could react."Who... are you saying have no money?"The staff were stunned. They stared at him with joy and awe."M-Mr. Kooper!"Gilbert looked at them with a chuckle. "Who are you saying has no money just now?"The staff who pushed Kisa said quickly, "It was this sneaky woman. She picked a bunch of clothes, but she has no money to pay for them. I think she must have just escaped from the mental hospital."Suddenly, Gilbert took Kisa in his arms as soon as the female staff finished.The few staff instantly widened their eyes and looked at him in horror."M-Mr. Kooper, what are you doing? I-Isn't she crazy?"Gilbert chuckled coldly. "I never know my woman was someone penniless or even mentally-ill. You are amazing!"The chuckle made all the staff in the store so frightened that their legs went weak.The staff said quickly, "I-I'm sorry, Mr. Kooper. We didn't know she was your woman. Every month, there would
"The shopping experience in your shop is terrible. I won't let my woman be mistreated. I think I will go to another shop.""Please don't, Mr. Kooper. Children's clothes are all similar in style. You can buy them at any store. Since you are here, why don't you buy it all here at once?" the cashier said and looked at Kisa.The cashier softened up at the thought of Kisa having put in a good word for her and her colleagues. "Please excuse our ignorance. We apologize. It is almost the end of the month, and we have not hit our sales target yet. Since you have not bought enough, why don't you continue to select a few more pieces here, saving you a lot of hassle while helping us out?"Gilbert leaned against the cashier counter and smiled. He fiddled with the credit card in his hand and looked at Kisa like he was watching a show. He was expecting Kisa to help out these people with kindness. But Kisa suddenly said, "Mr. Kooper is the one who will pay the bills. He can go to whichever shop he
